Beverage brand owner and distributor scaling vending and cloud infrastructure
MBG is a German beverage company managing owned brands (Scavi & Ray, Salitos, 9 Mile Vodka) and distribution rights for international spirits, with ~250 employees generating over €200M annual revenue. The tech stack is predominantly Microsoft-centric (Office 365, Azure, Power BI, Teams) with emerging AI adoption, while active projects signal a shift toward vending-machine-led growth and cloud migration—replacing on-premise systems with Azure infrastructure. Pain points cluster around sales transparency (lack of performance dashboards) and finance automation, suggesting operational friction in scaling distribution.
MBG International Premium Brands GmbH owns and distributes beverage brands across Germany, operating since 1993 as a public company headquartered in Paderborn. The portfolio spans premium spirits (vodka, gin, winery), cordials, and soft drinks, sold through traditional wholesale and emerging vending channels. The company operates logistics, marketing, and sales functions across 201–500 employees. Current expansion efforts focus on vending-machine distribution networks and customer relationship management systems to support growth beyond traditional on-premise beverage wholesale.
Primarily Microsoft ecosystem: Office 365, Azure, Power BI, Teams, SharePoint, Intune, Active Directory. Also uses Instagram, TikTok, Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), SQL, GitHub Copilot, and EDI for logistics integration.
